Power Tailgate Kit? I could do with some help lifting the tailgate which is quite heavy. I know you'll post details after fitment but can you tell me more now about what it is and where to order it please?
Basically I think the tailgate lift cylinders have too low a pressure and hold it up when it's up but don't help much with lifting.
Just Arrived this evening, taken the tailgate panels off ready will be fitting on the weekend,got the kit from China no surprise there I believe it's a huge company and really pleasant to deal with took about 1 week for delivery the company name is www.powertailgateliftkits.com dealt with Carroll Chan so very helpful. I will post the results when fitted but looks quality
Ok all fitted took me about 3 hours instructions not that clear but all wires have different connectors so you cannot go wrong, fantastic piece of kit am well pleased with it, if anyone wants any details let me know, cost is approximately £350
Thanks for being our pioneer on this.
Can you let us know if you needed to make any extra holes in the lid etc to fit this kit? My car's on a PCP plan so I don't want to make any mods to the car which I can't return to standard.
I'm also wondering if the electric lift replaces the normal lid lift cylinders.
Where did the electric power to the system tap into the cars electrics?
The internet site for this kit didn't actually show much detail so it must have been a shot in the dark to buy this but it seems to have worked out well for you.
I'm also wondering if the Jaguar electric lift parts can be retro fitted so I'll check that out next week.
Thanks
No holes to drill apart from one for a close button in the plastic inner tailgate panel but you don't need to install this switch you can use your key fob every time your gas struts are replaced with motorised ones but you can put your own back at the end of lease electrical connection is connected to original loom just straight forward the tricky bit is threading cables but all goes like clockwork
Hi Jenny, I also have looked on website and couldn't find detail. could you let us have kit number, and any other details needed to order, thanks for sharing, Tony. p.s. pictures would be nice if possible.

Sure they didn't advertise for E Pace as they hadn't developed it but I e mail them and they made one for me as I was the first enquiry, because it's a bran new model, but now they have them on the shelf contact Carroll Chan at sales03@kaimiao-group.com You will find her so helpful
Pdf receive John (@Jenny Jaguar) many thanks. I printed mine off on photo paper to ensure I could see the details on the photos which worked well.
I'm impressed with the thoroughness of the kit and instructions.
I'll now settle down and inwardly digest it all.
Cheers.

It's less than the cost of specifying on original order, works out about £365 delivered depending on exchange rates on the day, the sting in the tail is HMRC fees, which can add about another £90, not all packages are checked so you may not pay this.
Hi if anyone else wants pictures and pdf or any information can you let me know before Wednesday evening as I'm on holiday for a month, Cheers John c/o. Jenny
